Hey Folks,

Every once in a while I run across an old Beatles tune that we don't have up here. What You're Doing crossed my local airwaves the other day and I had to get on it.

By the end of 1964 The Beatles released their fourth album, and all just in 2 years, Beatles For Sale. Many of the songs were considered fillers but all of them included some interesting licks and progressions, along with great arrangements, compelling vocals harmonies, and tasty guitar leads.

What You’re Doing is a good example of a song that seems like filler but still has some things worth learning and working on. The lesson goes over the main lick and progression but also goes into the short solo George played on a 12-string, as well as a few different ways of tackling the intro.
